7 march 2019, 10th board exams mathematics set 1 question paper is really tough and incomparable with set 2 and set 3.
Q24 of set 1 was actually a 11th standard ncert question. The questions in set 1 from a. P, polynomials, quadratic were difficult, tricky and time consuming than the questions of these respective chapters in set 2 and set3. It will result in poor marks and grade for those students who got set1 question paper. Have high respect for cbse board but this is not a fair approach. Kindly do the needful to award grace marks (For question 24) to those students who were given set 1 mathematics question paper of class 10 on 07.03.2019. Hope the cbse board will take action to address the disparity done to students who got set 1 of mathematics question paper on 07.03.2019.

    Sir/madam,
    It is highly disappointing and unfair that the students who had to attend question paper with code no.30/4/1, series jms/4, set 1 was given out of text questions and hots model questions while other students were not. Out of the 8 questions from section d, 4 were out of text questions. Even a high achiever would find it very difficult to solve question 24 and 28 of this section. It has disturbed them morally as they are worrying they might lose a1 because other students did well. We have great trust in a prestigious board like cbse and believe that appropriate steps would be taken by either giving them grace marks or making the valuation liberal.

          My son is a consistent top performer. He informed that some questions of set 1 really needed a lot of time and he could not finish and a few questions which was easy for him he could not even attend. He was surprised to see his fellow students completing and leaving exam rooms 30 minutes before time.

          Kindly review the questions as one of them are of the 11th standard syllabus.

            Sir,
            on 07/03 cbse math exam were taken, but one question was out of syllabus of set 1, sec -D of question 28, this question was from identity . I solve ncert, rd sharma, rs agarwal and cbse previous year question but i never find this type of identity. Also sir set 1 is very very hard as compared to set 2 or 3.
            So i request you to give bonus marks on this question, as no student were able to solve this. Also i try several times but cannot able to solve this question.
            Thanking you.

              I can see so many complaints regarding question 28 of set1 of cbse maths 2019 paper. That question was indeed very tough for children at point of pressure, especially when other questions are lengthy and time consuming. I am also a maths teacher. I know how children would have struggled with that question.

              Request the cbse board to remove that question and give the 4 marks fully to all those kids who attempted that question.

              Trigonometry questions in set 2 and 3 were easily solvable compared to this.

              This question is actually out of syllabus

              Teacher some students did not have time to even reach to question 28. Set 1 was lenghty for top students and they could not finish the paper. They were surprised to see the fellow students who got other sets completing and leaving exam rooms well ahead of time
              The worries are submitted in different forums with no clear understanding what to do

                Sir, yesterday after giving the maths 10 board exam, i am very frustrated, depressed, and feeling helpless as i got set 1, which was must difficult compared to set 2 and set 3. Please sir don't play with our future. We have been working hard from the beginning and such discrimination are really painful for us. I request you do grace marking and kindly do justice with us.

                  The class 10 maths cbse question paper was a lot difficult than set 3! This is really an injustice to them who got set 2 as their question paper. Each paper should be equal in terms of question i. E the questions may be different but it should be as easier it should be in set 3. I think most of the students faced this who got set 2 as their question.
                  So, its my request to give grace marks and to check the paper in a easier way.

                    Sir/madam,
                    The set 1 of the math board question paper attempted by the students on 07/03/19 was extremely tough compared to set 2 and set3. Some of the questions like 23rd, 28th were relatively tough. The questions in other sets were easy compared to set 1. It is unfair to have questions with different complexity in different sets. The questions should have shuffled instead of having different questions in each set. This was demotivating for the kids as it impacts there scores compared to others. Atleast the difference was seen for ~3 questions in section 4 of paper hence it impact 8-12 marks.

                    Considering the difference in complexity of questions, i request cbse to reconsider and provide grace marks (8marks considering 2 questions) for kids who got set 1. This would boost the morals of kids and correct the discrepency caused in papers. I hope the cbse officials will do the needful and provide justice to the children.

                    Thanks in advance
                    Naresh

                      The set-1 maths exam paper for grade x was very difficult as compare to other sets. This is not a fair approach by cbse. We need reasonably soft correction to compensate this mistake done.

                      Children’s who got set-1 paper are very much depressed and this will certainly shaken their confidence for the remaining exams

                      Humbly request for reasonable action

                        Accountancy paper was held on 6th march, 2019 by cbse.

                        An error was found in a 6 marks question of the chapter - not for profit organisation.
                        Same question was in all three sets as follows:-
                        Set 67/4/1- question 13
                        Set 67/4/2 - question 15
                        Set 67/4/3- question 15

                        The closing balance sheet was given instead of opening balance sheet., i. E balance sheet as at 31st march, 2018 was given instead of 31st march, 2017.

                        In case we assume it to be closing balance sheet, then also
                        There are following discrepancies:-
                        1. The cash balances do not match with the receipt and payment a/c.
                        2. Assets purchased during the year, computer and furniture are not shown in the balance sheet.
                        Hence, the children were in a dilemma to take it as opening or closing balance sheet.

                        If the children assume it to be opening balance sheet then:-
                        The cash balances do not match with the receipt and payment a/c.

                        Kindly look into the matter.

                        We request authorities to compensate the children by giving them 6 marks for the erroneous question.

                          Set 1 of maths paper was very tough compared to set 2 and set3. Why it is based on luck factor.

                          Three questions in 4 marker was so difficult and trigonometry sum is in 11 grade ncert text book. I think it's very unfair.. Quadratic was so lengthy and ap question not seen before in past papers also.

                          Give grace marks for set1 for all three questions.

                            10 grade maths paper was held on 7.3.19 and set1 was very difficult compared to the set2 and set3. 4 markers trigonometry ap and quadratic was not part of 10 th ncert syllabus.

                            Need to give grace marks for all the three.
                            This is very unfair as only few set of students has to suffer. And no point in doing so much hardwork. All the rest are so happy...

                            My daughter is so upset that she is not able to study for her forthcoming exams

                            Need grace marks for all three questions of 4 marker.

                              I really feel shame full of injustice by the cbse with set 3 as it was also tough and lengthy as comparing with set 1 and set 2
                              We also want grace marks
                              As the questions no. 12 was incorrect and some questions were of iit level.
                              Some questions were too much tricky and especially lengthy.
                              I really admire to get grace marks for set 3 students as the students of set 1 &set 2 are getting.

                              Yours hopefull
                              12th student.

                                2019 set 1 maths qp was comparatively difficult than set 2 and 3 some questions were very difficult and time consuming why penalize a few students. Qps should be for children to crack it not to test the calibre of qp setters board should make sure that all three sets have same difficulty. Hope valuation would be liberal with the first qp of a core subject you have pulled down the spirits of many children

                                  7 march 2019, 10th board exams mathematics set 1 question paper is really tough and incomparable with set 2 and set 3.
                                  Q24 of set 1 was actually a 11th standard ncert question. The questions in set 1 from a. P, polynomials, quadratic were difficult, tricky and time consuming than the questions of these respective chapters in set 2 and set3. It will result in poor marks and grade for those students who got set1 question paper. Have high respect for cbse board but this is not a fair approach. Kindly do the needful to award grace marks to those students who were given set 1 mathematics question paper of class 10 on 07.03.2019. Hope the cbse board will take action to address the disparity done to students who got set 1 of mathematics question paper on 07.03.2019.

                                    The set 1 of the maths board question paper attempted by the students on 07/03/2019 was extremely unfair. While set 2 and set 3 made the students jump with joy as all questions were basic reader questions, the students who attempted set 1 came out of the exam center crying as they did not expect to lose 8 marks.
                                    Specifically two questions from section - d were extremely hard and question based on trigonometry also demanded long calculations which consumed much of the time of the students. While it is perfectly understandable to give the children new questions to test their understanding but their capacity should also be kept in mind. It is also extremely unfair that the other two sets were much, much easier when compared to the first one. 8 marks can be a major setback for the students aiming for 90% and more and to all students in general.

                                    Keeping the interest of all students who has attempted set 1 maths paper, in our opinion some grace marks should be given to all students who has tried to attempt those difficult questions.
                                    It is unfair to the children who prepared so much but couldn't score a ` full simply because their roll number was not the preceding or the succeeding one.

                                    We are really hopeful that the cbse officials do the needful and provide justice the children.

                                      I'm a student of class 10, it was my first board exam paper ever and it was the worst for me, i'm depressed so much. I prepared all the things and i was confident that i was able to score 75+ but as soon as i got my paper i had a panic attack and my hands began to shiver and my left eye started to close as it seemed like blindness to me.
                                      In my class, there was no comfortable seat and my all stationary instruments were falling from the desk and we were unable to see the clock and when we complained to the teacher, she said it's not your school that you try to talk to us like this.
                                      Also, we were not allowed to have a watch with us and a water bottle. Are they making exams easy or more complicated for us?
                                      Are they creating the future of india or making the students objects and machines?
                                      Also, different sets has different questions.
                                      It was the most horrific moment for me, all my classmates who got the good sets will score good and i'll not, and now i'm full of sorrow for this. They gave me set-3 with different questions and many students are complaining in my school for such kind of act done by cbse.
                                      It's not an exam but just playing with the students by giving them different questions. It's like cbse is playing a whole different game with us.
                                      Everyone is angry with such kind of act, i must get grace marks for this as i was unable to see the clock properly and we were not allowed to have our water bottle with us, we were thirsty and the school provided us water only for one time. Think about this, how could you judge us by making us giving exams in such an uncomfortable surrounding?
                                      And it's totally unfair to give the students different sets! Please give me justice for this! I'm mentally ill thinking about my maths class 10 board exams, i need grace 10+ marks as i was going to lose my consciousness at that time in the exam hall because of the miserable conditions.
                                      Thank you, i hope cbse will support us.

                                        This year's mathematics question paper of class 10 had several sets. But the sets were not of equal standard. Set 03 had very easy questions while sets 01 and 02 had tough questions to be answered.

                                        This is totally unfair on part of cbse. All sets should have equal standard questions. I complaint against this unfair matter of cbse paper setting way.

                                        Consideration or grace marks must be considered by cbse for the students who answered sets 01 and sets 02.

                                        Reference: please refer and compare to the mathematics question paper - 2019 of class 10 held on 07/03/2019 the sets 01, 02 and 03.
